Chapter 563: Civilization and Fabrication

Li Li Banfeng stomped down on Tapo Wanchuan, shattering half of Huahu Manchun's flesh and blood.

The skeleton, still connected to the remaining half of his flesh, hung from the Tang Dao. The Tang Dao was glowing a scorching red, appearing exceptionally excited.

"Master, this man's blood is truly extraordinary."

The blood of a Da Huan Xiu cultivator above the clouds was indeed extraordinary in quality.

Zhong Bai jumped out to greedily drink the blood, while Huahu Manchun seized the opportunity to try and break free from the Tang Dao.

The Tang Dao sprouted barbs all over its body, the shape and size of which constantly shifted, causing Huahu Manchun to fail several times in his attempts to break free.

How could this blade be so formidable?

Huahu Manchun found it hard to comprehend; he did not yet know how many high-level cultivators the Tang Dao had consumed.

After struggling for a moment, Huahu Manchun's strength suddenly surged, and Li Li Banfeng discovered that flesh and blood were regrowing over his bones.

Huahu Manchun had quite a reputation among the Earth Deities of the Proper Lands; even Pan Pan Dehai feared him by three parts. Naturally, he had his own extraordinary methods.

He was not only a good fighter but also resilient. He possessed a technique similar to the Green Lv Lv Shuigong, allowing him to reclaim flesh and blood that had been beaten off his bones. What was even more commendable was that his method was more covert than the Green Lv Lv Shuigong's. During the process of reclaiming his flesh,

Li Li Banfeng had not noticed.

But Feng Daiku had noticed.

Like Chu Chu Yaoxian, she had suffered at Huahu Manchun's hands and wanted to eliminate him. However, Feng Daiku did not pin all her hopes on others; she had done many things herself.

She had found the best moment to ambush Huahu Manchun and was very familiar with his combat tactics.

Seeing Huahu Manchun's flesh scattered by Li Li Banfeng, Feng Daiku nudged Ma Wu. Ma Wu mounted his sister and scattered her children.

Leeches have a bloodthirsty nature. A large patch of tiny leeches had just crawled out of their egg cocoons and were frantically rushing toward the scattered flesh.

Huahu Manchun had recovered less than half of his body on this side, and the other half of his flesh could no longer be reclaimed.

Suddenly, many fat leeches appeared all around, and the remaining flesh was swallowed by them.

Huahu Manchun wanted to kill the leeches, but he was still hanging from the Tang Dao. Li Li Banfeng was in no hurry to kill him; he controlled the Tang Dao to churn incessantly within Huahu Manchun's internal organs.

Having gained the upper hand, Li Li Banfeng did not change his tactics or act rashly, intending to exploit this advantage to the very end.

This fighting style made Huahu Manchun truly unable to endure. Huahu Manchun moved forward, and Li Li Banfeng followed; Huahu Manchun jumped sideways, and Li Li Banfeng followed. No matter what response Huahu Manchun made, Li Li Banfeng followed closely behind, keeping the Tang Dao inside Huahu Manchun's body at all times.

The Tang Dao kept changing. Huahu Manchun's exterior still looked relatively intact, but his insides had been churned into meat paste. Li Li Banfeng still refused to stop.

Huahu Manchun risked a heavy injury, forcibly breaking his body into two halves to break free from the Tang Dao, and fled all the way toward the New Lands.

The patch of New Lands ahead was the very swamp they had come from. Ma Wu, riding his sister, was about to give chase when he was dissuaded by Li Li Banfeng: "Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor hasn't been taken yet. You and Miss Feng should deal with the matters in the manor first."

Ma Wu took Feng Daiku into the manor, while Li Li Banfeng flew at full speed, soon catching up to Huahu Manchun.

Huahu Manchun stopped in his tracks and unleashed a technique at Li Li Banfeng—"Dry Wood, Raging Fire."

This technique was very crude. To put it bluntly, it was meant to make Li Li Banfeng's desires surge, making him want to strike at anything he saw.

Even if a moth flew past, he would have to catch it to test its sex.

Huahu Manchun was too heavily injured; his intent reached, but the technique did not. Li Li Banfeng hurriedly dodged more than ten zhang away, exceeding Huahu Manchun's casting range.

The technique failed, but Huahu Manchun did not linger in the fight. He continued to flee for his life in the swamp. A pitch-black man ran to his side and pointed ahead.

Huahu Manchun did not know where this man came from, nor did he understand what the man meant. He only saw the man pointing ahead continuously. Li Li Banfeng explained from the side: "He is asking you if you intend to keep running forward?"

This black man's figure was somewhat similar to Li Qi's, and the outline of his clothing was almost identical. Could it be Li Qi's shadow?

Why could Li Qi control a shadow? This should be a technique of the Residential Cultivators above the clouds.

Huahu Manchun used "Dry Wood, Raging Fire" on Li Li Banfeng again. Li Li Banfeng dodged quickly, but the shadow did not. The shadow believed that it was not a complete entity and should not be harmed by the Da Huan Xiu technique.

After dodging the technique, Li Li Banfeng charged up with his sickle. Within a few strikes, he forced Huahu Manchun into a position where he could barely parry.

If the shadow were to attack now, it could easily subdue Huahu Manchun. But Li Li Banfeng looked over and saw the shadow lying on the soft swamp ground, swinging its body up and down.

Whether he could quickly subdue Huahu Manchun was not the point; the key was that this scene was somewhat embarrassing.

Li Li Banfeng retracted the shadow and began to use his steps frequently. Sometimes he was only three or five steps away from Huahu Manchun,

and sometimes he was dozens of meters away, leaving Huahu Manchun with no way to defend, let alone counterattack.

After running back and forth for more than two li, a pool of water appeared ahead.

A vortex appeared in the center of the pool. It was not large in diameter, but the center of the vortex sank deeply, causing Li Li Banfeng to have many fantasies.

This was truly strange.

Why would I have fantasies about a vortex?

Looking at the moving lines of the vortex, Li Li Banfeng really felt a bit of an impulse.

Could it be that I have also been hit by a Da Huan Xiu technique?

Carefully sensing his physical condition, Li Li Banfeng realized that he had indeed been hit by a Da Huan Xiu technique.

Huahu Manchun's technique had been used on the shadow, and the shadow had been hit.

Now that Li Li Banfeng had retracted the shadow, it seemed he had also been affected.

If he didn't deal with this influence, it was hard to say what Li Li Banfeng might do.

But as for dealing with it, there was no suitable place at the moment.

The situation became more and more obvious. Li Li Banfeng now felt an inexplicable palpitation whenever he saw a hole.

Helpless, Li Li Banfeng opened the door and entered his Personal Residence.

Huahu Manchun was stunned to find that Li Qi had disappeared.

Where did he go?

It was better that he left; he should hurry and escape. Huahu Manchun quickened his pace, but in the blink of an eye, Li Qi was chasing him from behind again.

After returning to the Personal Residence, the Lady had handled things for Li Li Banfeng. Fortunately, the action was fast enough not to delay the pursuit.

Li Qi summoned the shadow again. This time he was extra careful; neither his main body nor the shadow touched Huahu Manchun's technique.

The main body held the sickle, and the shadow held a shovel. The two sides cooperated tacitly, slashing at Huahu Manchun from time to time.

Covered in wounds, Huahu Manchun stood on a pool of mud and suddenly stopped moving. He looked at Li Li Banfeng's main body.

He discovered that Li Li Banfeng was testing some kind of method on him.

Huahu Manchun was indeed injured, but given his status, he absolutely could not endure such mockery.

Having run so far, he had already left Feng Daiku and Ma Wu behind. Now, only he and Li Qi remained.

"Come, let's fight to the death!" Huahu Manchun no longer paid attention to Li Li Banfeng's shadow, nor did he care about the shadow's origin; he only focused on Li Li Banfeng's main body.

He chose to stand on the mud pool because the mud pool's terrain was the softest, which was not suitable for a Traveling Cultivator to use techniques, and it might even control the Traveling Cultivator's footsteps.

Once a Traveling Cultivator's footsteps were controlled, all that remained was to be beaten.

Huahu Manchun prepared to gamble on his luck, intending to kill Li Li Banfeng using the mud pool first. If the main body died, the shadow would naturally disappear along with it.

Once this side was dealt with properly, he would recuperate and then find a way to deal with Feng Daiku.

While pondering, Li Li Banfeng charged toward Huahu Manchun with the shadow. The moment they approached the mud pool, the shadow suddenly stepped into the mud, stretched out its hands, and supported Li Li Banfeng's feet.

Li Li Banfeng stepped on the shadow's hands. He had two choices: first, to jump directly using the shadow's support, fly close to Huahu Manchun, and kick him over.

This choice was relatively stable, but the problem was that the airtime was a bit long. With Huahu Manchun's combat power, he could completely take the opportunity to use a technique on Li Li Banfeng.

The second tactic was to use the shadow's support to perform a step, steal a step forward, and use close-quarters combat to finish off Huahu Manchun.

The second tactic was the result Li Li Banfeng wanted. He hoped that when the shadow was present, he could still use his steps.

But this tactic was a bit risky. If he couldn't use the step, Li Li Banfeng might sink into the mud pool.

Li Li Banfeng decided to gamble. Huahu Manchun was heavily injured, so even if there was a mishap, Li Li Banfeng was confident he could escape.

Following the essentials of the step, he stepped on the shadow's hands and charged toward Huahu Manchun.

Huahu Manchun thought Li Li Banfeng would jump up and had just prepared to block the high altitude, only to find Li Li Banfeng sinking into the mud pool.

The shoe step failed; Li Li Banfeng couldn't steal that step and was about to sink into the mud pool.

He was like someone stepping on a hot iron plate, his feet tapping the mud pool back and forth, trying to find a foothold, but he couldn't find one.

"Li Qi, this is you seeking your own death."

Huahu Manchun was going to use a technique!

What to do? He couldn't even stand steady now; how could he dodge?

Li Li Banfeng walked faster and faster on the mud pool, his toes tapping the ground frantically, so fast they became blurred.

But the ground under his feet became softer and softer. Li Li Banfeng couldn't find a foothold, and no matter how fast his speed was, it was useless; he couldn't control the direction of his movement.

Huahu Manchun's technique was coming. This time he used the "Da Huan Fire Burning Body" technique. Once Li Li Banfeng was infected, he would inevitably catch fire from the inside out.

In his desperation, Li Li Banfeng's feet suddenly left the ground, and his whole body soared into the air.

Did he jump up?

Impossible. In the mud pool, Li Li Banfeng didn't even have a place to stand; how could he jump up from such soft ground?

Li Li Banfeng was flying!

The moist air in the swamp was stepped on under his feet like flowing water.

Li Li Banfeng used footsteps similar to treading water while swimming, stepping on the air to take flight. This was the "Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds" technique.

Since reaching the second layer of Traveling Cultivation, Li Li Banfeng had been hoping to fly every day, but he hadn't been able to learn it. He didn't expect to learn it at this moment.

Huahu Manchun's technique struck. Li Li Banfeng sensed the danger and easily dodged it in mid-air.

This was the difference between flying and jumping. If he had jumped, as long as Huahu Manchun had locked onto Li Li Banfeng's movement, Li Li Banfeng would absolutely not have been able to dodge.

But if he was flying, Li Li Banfeng could change direction at any time in the air.

Flying in mid-air, Li Li Banfeng felt very happy. Looking down at Huahu Manchun, even happier things were yet to come.

The shadow, trapped in the mud pool, was fighting Huahu Manchun with a shovel.

The shadow was still there, proving that Li Li Banfeng could now use other techniques while using the "Shadow and Reflection Mourning Each Other" technique, and even high-level techniques like "Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds."

Li Li Banfeng was too excited. He flew around Huahu Manchun twice and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha..."

The shadow picked up a lump of mud from the ground and threw it at Li Li Banfeng's face, cutting his laughter short.

Looking down, he saw the shadow was half-submerged in the mud pool, fighting Huahu Manchun very arduously.

This was truly difficult for the shadow. Li Li Banfeng swooped down and hooked Huahu Manchun's chin with his sickle: "I heard you have a kind of hook that works particularly well on your subordinates. Is this how you use it?"

Huahu Manchun's mouth was full of blood, and he still wanted to fight Li Li Banfeng to the death. Li Li Banfeng pulled the sickle from his chin and hooked it into his cheek: "Is this how you use it?"

Huahu Manchun still didn't answer, and techniques kept surging out from his body.

As long as a technique arrived, Li Li Banfeng would use "Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity" to dodge, firmly refusing to suffer any losses.

"The cheek isn't right either. Where exactly should it be hooked? Come to my house and tell me!" Li Li Banfeng dodged Huahu Manchun's technique, hooked the back of his head, and brought him back to the Personal Residence.

The shadow was trapped in the mud pool, and the muddy water had already passed its waist.

It wanted to spit at Li Li Banfeng, but there was no water in its body, so it made a spitting motion without any saliva coming out.

Once inside the Personal Residence, Huahu Manchun still wanted to resist. Hong Ying swung her sword and severed Huahu Manchun's heel tendons. Huahu Manchun fell to the ground, temporarily abandoning the thought of resistance.

"Brother Li Qi, I am a person from Xuehua Pu. Xuehua Pu is a business under the Peddler. I am someone who works for the Peddler.

I know you are a friend of the Peddler. Regardless of the grievances between us, for the sake of the Peddler, spare my life."

"Are you really from Xuehua Pu?" Li Li Banfeng began to probe, "I don't think you look like it. When I first arrived at Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor, I chatted with Hong Lian Yan Cuier for a few sentences.

She said the manor was short of money, and that you were always doing business in the surrounding territories. Xuehua Pu is a place that mints money,

how could it be short of money?"

"I am truly from Xuehua Pu. Yuan Yuan Chunping in my manor is a messenger for Xuehua Pu. If you don't believe me, we can confront her in a moment, and you will know whether I am telling the truth or not."

Huahu Manchun feigned submission on the surface while secretly using a technique to quickly repair his severed heel tendons.

Li Li Banfeng followed the lead and asked, "Then why are you short of money?"

"Xuehua Pu takes a lot of money from me. I don't know why the Pu is short of money either. Many friends in the Pu have sold their magic treasures just to keep the Pu running. I have been able to hold on until today by relying on the business in my own territory."

"What kind of business do you have in your territory that makes so much money?"

Li Li Banfeng was very curious about this. Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor didn't have a large population, and there weren't many women engaged in production in the manor,

but the whole manor was very prosperous. Li Li Banfeng didn't understand where Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor's economic source was.

Huahu Manchun explained: "There are several mountains around the manor with many special products. I harvest these special products and sell them, which makes a lot of money."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Relying just on a few special products to maintain the expenses of the entire Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor, and still having money to support Xuehua Pu—your explanation is too far-fetched."

"What I said is truly the truth."

"He's lying!" Meng De, hanging on the wall, spoke up.

Huahu Manchun was too heavily injured and in poor condition. Plus, Meng De had consumed quite a bit of flesh and blood from above the clouds recently, so her strength had improved significantly. She saw through Huahu Manchun's lie.

"Manor Lord Hua, this is where you are in the wrong." Li Li Banfeng raised his sickle, aiming at the part Da Huan Xiu cultivators valued most.

"Master, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Leave this matter to me!" The Tang Dao took the initiative to unsheathe. Ever since it drank Huahu Manchun's blood, it had been somewhat excited, and the blade had grown quite a bit.

Seeing the blade falling, Huahu Manchun shouted repeatedly: "Brother Li, you can't! There are indeed some hidden matters that shouldn't be spoken of, but since Brother Li has asked, I will tell you.

In the surrounding mountains, I mainly refine some medicinal powders. The price of these powders is a hundred times that of gold."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What kind of medicinal powder?"

"Entry-level medicinal powder for cultivators."

The room immediately fell silent.

Li Li Banfeng's expression was calm as he continued to probe: "This kind of medicinal powder seems to only be available from the Peddler."

Huahu Manchun said: "The medicinal powder in the Peddler's hands is his exclusive powder, and it is also the orthodox powder for cultivators to enter the Dao. But the Peddler's business is somewhat special. There are some powders he doesn't have on hand, and even if you want to buy them, you can't. There are some powders that, even if he has them, he doesn't want to sell, and others can do nothing about it.

Wealthy families don't want to be constrained by the Peddler, so they will pay high prices to buy some powders and store them at home for emergencies. No matter where they buy the powder from, in Puluo Continent, half of the sources of these powders come from me."

"Half of them are from you?" Li Li Banfeng still didn't quite believe it, "Are you counting?"

"I haven't counted, but I've seen it. My medicinal powder is mixed with some rouge. I've seen the medicinal powder in several wealthy families, and they all have this scent of rouge.

This isn't because I want to fake it, but because this rouge has other uses."

Li Qi shook his head and said: "I understand this even less. What use can rouge mixed into entry-level medicinal powder have?"

Huahu Manchun exerted a little force on his heel tendons, which were almost repaired: "Brother Li Qi, I can't say exactly what use it has right now. As long as you spare my life, I will pass on the method of refining the medicine to you, and I guarantee you will have a continuous source of wealth in the future."

Before he finished speaking, the Tang Dao swung, severing Huahu Manchun's newly repaired heel tendons again, causing Huahu Manchun to howl in pain.

"You heal quite fast!" The Tang Dao was very sharp today; it could see that Huahu Manchun was repairing his heel tendons.

Li Li Banfeng said to Huahu Manchun: "Tell me the truth, what method do you use to refine the medicinal powder?"

Huahu Manchun said: "To the east of the manor, there is Mount Song Baiming, which has many rare birds and beasts. If you collect the blood of some of these beasts and mix it with rouge, you can refine it into medicinal powder.

Taking Wu Xiu as an example, there are three types of golden eagles on Mount Song Baiming, all with very high combat power. As long as you take their blood—"

"Seventh Master, no need to listen to him, he's lying!" Meng De exposed Huahu Manchun's lie again.

Li Qi was a bit angry. He waved his hand, and the Tang Dao directly severed Huahu Manchun's right hand.

After this slash, the Tang Dao had already slashed three times. By rights, it should have rested.

But the Tang Dao remained excited and never returned to its sheath.

Huahu Manchun howled incessantly. He had many ways to torture the women in the manor, but Li Li Banfeng's methods of torturing people were no less inferior to his.

"Brother Li Qi, what I said is truly the truth."

The Tang Dao rose again, and Huahu Manchun shouted: "Enough, what I harvested on the mountain wasn't rare birds and beasts, it was corpses."

"Whose corpses?"

"The corpses of people from my manor," Huahu Manchun finally told the truth this time, "There are thousands of people in Hua Xiu Jie Xian Manor, all bought by me. Many of them have cultivation.

When these women with cultivation die, they aren't buried in the village, but are buried on the surrounding mountains according to their different cultivation levels.

Mount Song Baiming is specifically for burying Wen Xiu, Mount Hanyan is for burying Wu Xiu, and the other barren mountains are mixed burials for various Daoist sects.

Every once in a while, I go up the mountain to dig out the corpses that have rotted by fifty or sixty percent and use their remains to refine medicinal powder. It can refine the medicinal powder they used when they first entered the Dao.

As for how exactly to refine it, what kind of heat to use, and what kind of auxiliary materials, I can tell you all of it, as long as you spare my life!"

Li Li Banfeng recalled Hong Lian Yan Cuier's description and asked again: "I heard you often kill people in the manor,

especially those who are old and have lost favor. You often find excuses to kill them. What is the reason?"

Huahu Manchun said: "It's because my temper is a bit irritable."

The Tang Dao swung horizontally, slicing open Huahu Manchun's stomach. Huahu Manchun gritted his teeth, stuffed the protruding intestines back in, covered his wound, and said: "I really didn't lie. Sometimes it really is because of an irritable temper, and sometimes, it's also because of business matters..."

Li Li Banfeng said: "The business matters you speak of are because you were short of a certain medicinal powder, so you killed the cultivator of that Daoist sect. Is that what you mean?"

Huahu Manchun lowered his head and said: "Someone was urging for goods, and I really had no choice."

Li Li Banfeng touched the edge of the Tang Dao and laughed: "In Puluo Continent, I've seen many villains, but I've truly rarely seen one as wicked as you.

In your eyes, are those women just materials for stocking up? If the Peddler knew you did such things,

he would tear you into ten thousand pieces."

"That's not the logic," Huahu Manchun shook his head, "These women were bought by me at high prices year after year. They didn't pass through other people's hands; I bought them directly from their own hands.

I gave them money and gave them three days. They could spend it however they wanted. After three days, they were willing to come to my manor to be slaves and servants. I could deal with them however I wanted.

This isn't just me saying it casually. I have signed contracts with them. I will take you to my residence now, and we can look at the contracts and then judge. Even if the Peddler were here, I would dare to reason with him!"

Li Li Banfeng still didn't believe it. The record player said from the side: "Husband, Puluo Continent values contracts. What he said is indeed the logic of Puluo Continent.

In Puluo Continent, if a person is willing to sell themselves, as long as the matter is written clearly in the contract, no matter how they are sold, it is reasonable and legal. Even if they are to be killed or skinned, there is no problem."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "How could anyone sell themselves like this?"

"There are. Everyone in my manor was sold like this," Huahu Manchun gave an example, "Let's start with Hong Lian Cui. You've seen her.

She is a Wu Xiu, but she loves to gamble. To pay off her gambling debts, she owed Zhang Zhang Gunli three thousand oceans. Zhang Zhang Gunli said that if Hong Lian Yan Cuier couldn't pay back the money, he would skin her alive to go with his wine.

If you have heard of Zhang Zhang Gunli's reputation, you know he could really do such a thing. If Hong Lian Yan Cuier hadn't sold herself to me, she absolutely wouldn't have lived until today.

Every contract in my hands was written by them themselves. I have never forced them once. Brother Li Qi, if you want to act with chivalry, I advise you to find someone else. Based on this matter alone, you cannot kill me."

Li Li Banfeng was silent for a moment and laughed: "I didn't say I wanted to kill you for this matter. Tell me first, why did you contact people from the Outer Continents to harm me?"

"Because He He Jiaqing entered my manor, I certainly couldn't spare him. I had been mocked by you before, and I was worried you would stab me in the back, so I wanted to find a way to hold you back.

I really didn't expect the Outer Continents to be so unreliable. They just said they had held you back, but in the blink of an eye, you arrived."

"Which expert from the Outer Continents did you find? Why did you believe he could hold me back?"

Huahu Manchun lowered his head: "I wouldn't dare call him an expert, but his position is indeed high. I don't know who exactly it is. The one who contacted this person for me was our Xuehua Pu's branch in the Outer Continents, called the Ferry Help."

"I've heard of the Ferry Help. Chu Chu Zikai is the leader."

Huahu Manchun shook his head: "He is the boat boss, but the boat boss is not the leader. If the leader falls, the Ferry Help will scatter. If the boat boss is gone, we can just change to a new one. Now that he has disappeared, the Ferry Help has a new boat boss, but the leader is still that same leader.

The one who established the Ferry Help together with our Xuehua Pu was the Birch Hidden Cultivation Society. Their way of doing things is similar to ours. They also have a president, but the president is not the one in charge. The one truly in charge of the Hidden Cultivation Society usually doesn't show their face at all."

"Who is in charge of the Hidden Cultivation Society?"

"I truly don't know this."

"Who is the leader of the Ferry Help?"

"This, I don't know either."

"He's lying!" Meng De saw through Huahu Manchun's lie again.

Huahu Manchun lowered his head: "I really can't say."

Li Li Banfeng picked up the Tang Dao and said: "Speak. If you don't, you will suffer."

Huahu Manchun didn't open his mouth. Li Li Banfeng looked at the Tang Dao: "It's rare for you to be in such a good mood. Open a portal for him,

and let him be a woman for you once."

The Tang Dao had exactly this intention. Carrying a body full of firelight, it prepared to open a portal.

Huahu Manchun gritted his teeth and blurted out: "Don't look at the people from the Outer Continents as being so civilized; in fact, it's all fabricated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huahu Manchun's face twisted.

The record player shouted: "Husband, stay further away. Leave him to the little slave; this person is about to explode."

PS: The so-called civilization is all fabricated. There are two people who have said this sentence; the previous one was Chu Chu Zikai.
